I always camp responsibly, don't litter, etc. Only that I like camping "in the wild" and unfortunately in most countries it is forbidden. Norway seemed like a promised land to me, but reality is always more complicated than dreams. Thanks for this tutorial.
A very useful and educational video indeed for those who are new to wild camping or even those who have been doing it but may not realise some of the unintended damage or unethical actions such as pitching a tent in those iconic places just to show off in social media. My personal opinion is that cyclist who camp out are generally on a frugal trip and tends to uphold the ethics of wild camping as compared to the tourists in general. The hiking enthusiasts are also amongst those who will likely to uphold the wild camping ethics as they are mostly have great respect to nature and environment. Once again as always Matthew ... your videos are extremely well though and outstanding. Thanks.
Thanks Wong, you make a lot of really good points. I totally agree, hikers and cyclists, tend to uphold wild camping ethics much better than tourists in general.
you've summed it up rather well.
educational, informative a little bit of fun :)
Glad to hear that!
Hey Matthew. Thank you for sharing your experience. This was a good and thoughtful episode. It made me reflect on the rights and obligations that come with the wonderful freedom we have.
Glad it was helpful Trond! Thanks for your comments.
Excellent information. Well presented. Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
This is great. I liv in Norway and most of what you explained I did not know. Thank you for sharing. ☺️
A very thorough explanation. JP
Thanks for the information helpfull video
Thank you for very good useful information!
Thanks for this. Very clear. I wish we had a system like this in Canada. We technically do on Crown Land, but that's sometimes not easy to get to.
thanks for the tipps. very helpful. especially the "wild animals" part.
Takk Matthew - du lager bedre videoer om Norge enn hva noen nordmenn eller Norway travel etc evner å lage. Setter umåtelig stor pris på det du lager.
I would have a hard time imagining that anyone would care if someone camped close to their land unless the campers made a mess of the area. Especially in areas that are less travelled by tourists or normally don't see many campers. Norwegians seem pretty comfortable going on to other norwegians properties if they are hiking or for other reasons. I even have a funny story about that:
A few years ago when I was with my family clearing out a meadow behind our family's old mountain farm house, a big black car with with white ribbons just drove up in front of the barn. A newlywed couple got out and started posing for photos in front of the several hundred year old barn, all dressed up in gown and tuxedo. They didn't even ask for permission. We were a bit astonished, cause it is the last thing you expect to happen when you're out maintaining your family farm. But hey it is a compliment that they wanted to use it as a backdrop for their wedding photos. Also the couple did excuse themselves when they saw us and asked permission to continue.
Camping is also allowed on/around most rastplasser/resting places - but only for one night - and there are plenty of amenities such as toilets, tables, trash bins, and fireplaces.
Statens Vegvesen/The government road agency has a map of all the 1500+ rastplasser in Norway.
I have yet to try them myself but I imagine it is something in between a regular campsite and wild camping.
Thanks for the information. Common sense it's the rule.
Thank you!
Norway is absolutely beautiful, love it. By the way, we have exactly the same bikepacking setup. Apidura bags are great. Thank you for information 👍
Good to hear, safe travels!
I wish I could cycle like that! 😢. Norway is a beautiful country with lovely friendly people. you are so lucky to live and work there. I love Jenny the eagle owl, she can find me anytime lol. "Hazards & Danagers" lol😉. Take care
Jenny says hello!
If you follow these rules you'll also be Ok wild camping in Sweden. Allemansrätten is similar but not as encoded as Norway's.
Wow! Thanks for the info... Wish I was allowed in to visit my in laws in Skarnes but we Netherlands are not allowed in yet... Cant wait
The borders open tomorrow for EU citizens!
...some government branch should put you on their budget...
Thanks for this Video!
This year i‘m not going to norway🥲
Insteat i‘m now on the way to Montreaux (Switzerland) to visit the statue of Freddy Mercury. I habe done 500 km since Tuesday and today is my rest day. I still habe 1400km to go.
Have a nice day
Wow, what an adventure, safe travels and have fun 🚴🏻♂️☀️!
Your bike set up looks great, give us gear list ? !
Nice and simple rules. It’s a shame that people are ‘D**ks. Need more Jenny’s 🦉 ✊️ thanks Matthew 👍
Good guide not only for Norway... Do you recommend something particular against mosquitoes and alike? On one hand I would like to avoid deet (water pollution + synthetic solvent), and I cannot wear thick clothes because of temperature.
There are many natural insect repellants (no deet) on the market but each country has there own brands. Best to search online and check what is available in your country.
Hi Matthew, your videos are great. I have a question about the tent. You use the MSR. Is that enough for Norway? rain and wind?
I'm going to the North Cape next year from May to July and I'm so unsure about the right tent.
What are your experiences with the MSR or would you recommend a different one? Greetings Reinhard

Where exactly is it forbidden to camp on lofoten? Thanks!

I want to do this route. Can UK citizen go to Norway now?

@@matthewnorway thank you for the reply
Why do you keep picking on me during this video? 😁
🤣 Sorry!
Unfortunately beauty spots and AONBs in the UK have also been under great pressure and threat from many thoughtless selfish dick heads too, starting fires and leaving shocking amounts of litter, cans, bottles, bigger items of rubbish, discarded cheap camping equipment and human waste. It makes me angry and depressed in equal measure. Sad that there are so many thoughtless tossers who don't give a crap about the natural world. Your video is well shot and strikes just the right tone.
I’d argue Canada has much greater opportunity for exploration.
Yes, you are right there. One of the last great wilderness left.
Rule X: If you see such immoral actions, do society a favor, and lend Jenny the owl a hand.
